After a little “break”, we are back in the Philippines and resume our travelogue. Before leaving the PURA VIDA BEACH & DIVE RESORT located in Dauin, we set off to explore the island of Apo.
Apo island: an almost desert pocket handkerchief

APO ISLAND DIVES: WORLD RENOWNED
The volcanic island offers many diving spots. And from the launch, the importance of the coral reefs contrasts with the dives done in Dauin. In addition to the “classic” fauna, we note the almost invasive presence of the famous striped knitwear as well as a good number of turtles grazing peacefully.
When you go diving on Apo, you will spend the day there and do 2 or 3 dives. The sea is generally calm but this one also knows how to reserve some surprises ... Without great technical difficulties, the various dives around the island are accessible to all levels.
